Attention to detail is one of my main traits! That’s why I’ve come to love the nitty gritty of business. The details behind the scenes that make the business run and be successful.A mantra of mine is “Presentation Is Everything”. I fully believe in putting your best foot forward and going into things whole-heartedly. How you are perceived, however, is just as important as backing up what you’re presenting. While I am mature, I am also a fun, energetic, positive, encouraging person. I work extremely well in collaborative situations, always striving to be a valuable team member. Being an empathetic person, I tend to read people and their moods through observation and use this in my daily interactions.The inside customers are what I love to serve - the people we work with, because we are all in it together to accomplish a goal, despite all of our differences and life struggles. It’s rewarding to see people accomplish goals they didn’t think they could and help them get there.As a highly adept and very quick learner, I am inspired to improve myself professionally and personally; searching out opportunities to learn, shadow, and research on my own time. I do tend to over-extend myself, as I find it hard to say “no”, because another one of my traits is fear of disappointment. While that can be viewed as a negative trait, I have evolved that negative way of thinking into a personal drive to be detailed and do the best that I can for a successful result. I am imperfect, therefore I own my mistakes and learn from them.I multi-task well and am very organized. I cannot work in chaotic situations, so I find I am the one to organize and clean up and start fresh, which reaps great rewards. I also do not like to be barred by time clocks. If I want to work extra time to organize, get a project done, set up for the next day, research, etc., I like to do so beyond work hours and not expect anything in return. It’s just part of my nature to totally embrace my job and it becomes a part of me.After developing my career in the B2B technology field, I stayed home with my children and started/managed my own brick & mortar store for twelve years. It fed my business sense along with my creative soul, but allowed me to also juggle being a dedicated mother. Because I am creative, I am very good at brain-storming and coming up with solutions!Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my busy family when I can, being outside enjoying nature, doing anything creative, and being near any body of water that reflects the sun and moon!
